It's the beginning of the semester and that means half of the students on campus have decided that we are going to go back to the gym after their workout routine fell through last semester. It's been months since we've stepped foot in the gym, but we are ready to attack it and get fit. That is until we get there and start going.

1. How did I get to the gym? Didn't I walk here? That should count as exercise

2. Why am I here?

3. Are these clothes tighter than they were last time?

4. Why is every single machine full? What am I supposed to do?

5. Is everyone looking at me?

6. I can't remember where anything is here

7. Okay, I am going to set this at the easiest level

8. Can I go home yet?

9. Is three minutes long enough? No, darn it.

10. How many calories have I burned? Only 10? Are you kidding me!

11. Why is everyone else here going so hard? I look like a slacker...

12. I am so sweaty right now.

13. Maybe I should get a smoothie as a reward for working out.

14. I am literally dying right now. I am about to drop dead.

15. Only 5 more minutes to go. I've got this!

16. I don't got this.

17. Why do people come here every day?

18. Last minute I'm going to go so hard right now...

19. Just kidding that two seconds was good enough. I'm going to cool down for the last 58.

20. Hallelujah, praise Jesus, I am done!

21. I am so tired.

22. My body is so sore...

23. I can't believe I have to walk home now. I've already done my exercising for the day.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
